I'm pretty sure they've mentioned her at some point. At least as just a quick name drop.

Given that Nyssa is typically the daughter that Ra's abandons, and Talia the one he raises as an heir, probably Bat Embargoed.

The real magic was his hair.

I love that Talia/Bruce and Ra's have the cliched old,"No Dad I swear, I can change him!" relationship, except in this case the change that Talia wants to make is to turn Bruce into a heartless murderer.

Edit: Also the whole,"You're not good enough for my little girl!" thing, only the reason he isn't good enough is because he won't kill people.

I wonder about that. It seems really weird that they would allow Ra's but veto Talia. I just sort of assumed they went with Nyssa since she is less familiar to audience and so they are a bit freer in how they write her.

Furthermore, there were no Lazarus pits in the Nolanverse. It was all mundane/speculative fiction tech. Ra's al Ghul was just a succession of dudes with the same name. Bane's strength came from Charles Atlas and liberal doses of PCP and pain killers.

Talia doesn't seem to be appearing because she would be redundant, there isn't anything you could have her doing right now that can't be done by Nyssa. I suppose they could have her show up later this season if Nyssa decided to rebel against her dad.

Though she is still actually Malcolm Merlyn's daughter. It's Moira who is the pretender. This is why Ra's al Ghul hates Malcolm so...the greatest trick the Magician ever pulled was making Ra's love him.

Even though I knew he was alive and really he hasn't been out of the show that much, I was still very excited when Ollie popped up again in his Arrow duds.

Also mini-Nyssa being all ready to shank Malc until he bamboozled her with his magic trick. :3: Also the little school of tiny assassins.

I think it was stated that they only had two or three copies of Flash's suit and one was trashed recently. So he might not have any the leave sitting around.
